how large a factor is RARITY when it comes to...

[Dubious]

well im of the attitude that there's a near inifinite amount of great records... thus i try to never spend more than $10 for anything.

i can go to my spot and grab 40 12"s for $40 bones... and end up with a nice corss spectrum of hits, raers and complete obscurities.

to me that is money well spent.

i could never justify spending the same on 1 12" just because its a big record.

just doesnt give me the same kind of thrill as sifting through a pile of crazy shit i've never heard of.

I enjoy having good music that other people might not have.


At the same time if music is good, that is the most important.


I'm not one to talk though as I spend a shit load of money on so-called "rare" records.

But for every one that I've spent hundreds there are two or three in the same vein that I found for very very cheap.



Why are there always posts about this?




SQUABBLEDRUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that was an pretty condescending thing for me to say...

good thing I got right w/ the lord since.

Do you think it may have anything to do with how long it will be until you see this record again?

It's "raer" to see a "raer", but if I see a $20 peice, I can alway buy it the next time I see it, or even easier, jump on the internet and never even have to look for it.

I'm the opposite. I get a high off hearing a dope tune I've never heard before - it's what drives me. Kinda know the parameters and recognize hints of what it may look like, but can't tell you a name. IF the seller of said discovery also realizes it's dopeness, I gotta pay - and never mind doing so. IT's quality over quantity for me (though I'ma crackhead of many genres)

really though. People act like all raer is eithe ultra good, or terrible crap that happens to be in demand. I think there are quite a few in demand titles that are great and the demand is caused by those that owuld love to have the album and give it a spin.

Take Lou Courtney for example the '74 LP goes for $40- $60. It is a a wonderful album, is it as good as a MArvin Gaye release you can grab for $3? yes. But it just didn't sell like Marvin back in the day. Now if you want to spin it back to back with "Let's Get It On" you gotta pay up for it.

and on the opposite end, yes collectors, not music lovers keep the prices high, reissues are where music lovers should stay, keep the OG's for those of us with obsessions

Can you elaborate on this?

well collectors pay high prices for music, cause if it was just about the music you'd grab it in the cheapest form possible right?





only collectors would really care about having the OG. I'm sure you could ome up with little exceptions to the rules (Sound quality is different, different art work, etc.) but for the most part a collector drops $200 for a Skullsnaps OG.





Someone who just wants the music is gonna grab the reish or get an MP3.





Oh and K***n, best believe I think you are in it for the music and not the collectability.
